LOL

Go Marc! I hope you are filming it all for your upcoming movie: Upgrade Me!
Maybe you could also determine the health impact of eating those sesame and rising sun snacks for three meals a day.

Safe journies!!!

You are a brave man.

I realize you are a pilot but being stuck in airline seats for that long for 60 days is mindboggling.

Good luck on the quest.

The first thing that came to my mind is that....

You are out of your freakin' mind.

The second thing was....

Cool. if I were younger, single, and weighed a few less pounds (well maybe 20 or so), I could see me and an old buddy do it for kicks.

Afterall we once drove to Calgary for lunch... from Winnipeg.

Safe travels an I hope you keep your blog up to date - I will check in everyday.

WOW -

I wish I had the time - plus the ability to sit that long!

Best of luck and let us know how AC treats you!

If they were smart they would get a lot of PR from this!

Marc, should you be successful...no, sorry, WHEN you are successful on this quest, do you realize that your name will go down in history alongside such luminaries as the Pudding Guy?

It's cool watching history unfold.

I'm a bovine
You're a Goat
I just hope the ... is going to make it through all this



Seriously, does anyone know what the World Record is for flight miles on a commercial airline for 30 or 60 days? At the very least I think you might win the FT record and some serious bragging rights for decades to come

I'm thinking his brain will start to feel like pudding after that much flying.

Happy vapour trails, Marc!
